Geographic Codes & Hotel Information

[Nuwan Senaratna]

Geographic Codes

- ISO - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:LK, and https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:LK
- FIPS (Alternate - less popular than ISO) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIPS_region_codes_(A%E2%80%93C)#CE:_Sri_Lanka

- The lowest level of the ISO hierarchy in Sri Lanka (below GND) is "Village" not "Ward" (as I said today). This tool (http://moha.gov.lk:8090/lifecode/home) but has not geo data. Note the "Location Code" is the numbers in the ISO code delimited with dashes. 

Tourist Accommodation

- I got the data from http://www.data.gov.lk/sites/default/files/Information%20for%20Accommodation.csv. It seems to be down now :(
- Medium article https://medium.com/on-economics/every-hotel-in-sri-lanka-c495067c01f6
- Visualization code - https://observablehq.com/@nuuuwan/sl-tourist-accomodation

...

Thanks!

By the way, @Nuwan could we add the dataset to gig-data? What is happening at the moment is I am using gig-data repo as a submodule in most of the places where we do the data migration from a file system to a database. It would be very much useful there.
